The internships at the University Children's Hospital Basel (UKBB) offer medical students, including international students, a unique opportunity to gain practical experience in paediatrics, paediatric surgery and paediatric orthopaedics.
By working closely with experienced doctors and rotating through different departments, junior assistants gain comprehensive insights and valuable clinical skills that promote their professional development.
The UKBB has a mandate to train students in the paediatric disciplines. UKBB employees lead all paediatric lectures and courses at the University of Basel.
Wichtig: Es stehen pro Monat zwei Praktikumsplätze in der Kinderchirurgie zur Verfügung.
In der Regel haben Sie in ihrem einmonatigen Einsatz in der Kinderchirurgie die Möglichkeit, das Fach in seiner ganzen Breite kennenzulernen. Sie sind für 2 Wochen auf Station eingesetzt und 2 Wochen in der Poliklinik. Von dort aus können Sie in den OP eingeteilt werden. Sie werden sehr viel Patientenkontakt pflegen und in den jeweiligen Bereichen unter Anleitung den klinischen Alltag kennenlernen. Sie werden unter Aufsicht selbstständig auszuführende Aufgaben erfüllen. Ein permanentes Teaching während dieser Zeit wird Ihnen garantiert.
